Four Mustangs win Colorado 7 League titles

The Fort Morgan Mustangs took second place at the Colorado 7 League wrestling tournament by having eight wrestlers place. Of those eight, four were champions in their weight classes.

Toby McBride, Alex Mai, Frank Rosales, and James Hochanadel all took first place in their respective weight classes, while Kaleb Bell and Dylan McBride both came in second place. Seth Aleman and Sterling Sharp would be the other two Mustangs to place on the day.

McBride needed less than a minute to pin both Cole Bornhoft of Vista PEAK and Hunter Brinkworth of Elizabeth to win the title at 285. Mai pinned Wyatt Henderson of Fort Lupton in 44 seconds and scored a technical fall in the championship match with Ruben Moya, winning 20-5.

Rosales and Hochandel both earned pins in their first matches and faced close matches in the championship round. Against Jayden Smith of Vista PEAK, Rosales scored in a variety of ways to win a 13-7 decision at the conference title at 160 pounds. Hochanadel had a close match with Zakery McMillon of Alameda as one takedown lifted him to a 2-1 decision win.

Dylan McBride pinned Ruben Portillo of Alameda in less than 30 seconds to reach the championship round but fell by pin in his final match. Bell outworked Zach Irvin of Weld Central for a 9-8 decision win and fell by pin in the final round.
